"I won’t take a master! I really like Ling’er, and I want to continue pursuing her, I want to be with her!"
Lou Qiangqiang’s resolute voice rang out in the banquet hall.
A flicker of approval crossed Jiang Chen’s eyes as he chuckled, "Have you really decided not to take a master? If you had, perhaps when my strength increases, I could help you improve your physique so you could practice the Cultivation Technique that I practice."
Everyone in the banquet hall was startled and looked at Jiang Chen in unison. They were all aware of Jiang Chen’s strength, and the power of his Cultivation Technique was clear to those who had seen it and rumored among those who had not. Everyone understood that Jiang Chen’s words were incredibly tempting, not just for people around his age like Tang Yulin and Dong Yu, but even for Tang Jiawei, Tang Chengye, and Dong Tianchen, who all felt their hearts stir in that mont.
"Forget it, compared to Cultivation Techniques and strength, I still prefer Ling’er!" Lou Qiangqiang shook his head without hesitation, a hint of regret in his eyes: "Although it’s a bit regrettable, I really like Ling’er, and I really want to be with her!"
"Good!"
Jiang Chen burst into laughter, looking at Lou Qiangqiang: "Not bad! In today’s society, it’s rare to find young people who can withstand such temptation. Qiangqiang, you’ve impressed ."
"Big brother, I don’t have lofty ambitions. I just want to find a girl I like and live a stable life. As long as she’s fine and I’m fine, isn’t that enough?" Lou Qiangqiang laughed naively, scratching his head.
Jiang Chen nodded emphatically: "You’re young, but you’ve stated what most people can’t see through in their entire lives. With your pure heart alone, co with us to the Chixiao Sect. After we leave Chixiao Sect, let’s go to Dingjing together, since it’s almost ti for you to start school."
"Go together?" Lou Qiangqiang blinked in surprise, his face showing delight; "Big brother, are you agreeing to let and Ling’er be together?"
"What together? I simply agreed to your pursuit of Ling’er, alright? Don’t switch up the concept on , and then use my words to indirectly chase after Ling’er."
Jiang Chen glared at Lou Qiangqiang, saying irritably: "Just now you were all silly, and now your brain is pretty quick!"
"Hehe, when it cos to matters about Ling’er, my mind always moves quickly!" Lou Qiangqiang chuckled and then raised his head proudly: "Big brother, you’re wrong. When have I ever been silly? I’ve always been smart, okay?"
Jiang Chen gave Lou Qiangqiang a blank look: "You’re not silly? If you weren’t silly, why did you take so long to choose between continuing to pursue Ling’er and taking a master? If you succeed in pursuing Ling’er, are you worried that I won’t give you guidance in Cultivation?"
"This... right! That makes sense!" Lou Qiangqiang had a sudden realization.
Others in the banquet hall also ca to their senses, as none of them had thought of this before.
It wasn’t that they were all being foolish, but the temptation to beco Jiang Chen’s disciple was so great that they did not consider that becoming a disciple was to receive Jiang Chen’s guidance, which didn’t conflict with pursuing Jiang Chen’s sister in the slightest.
Such was the charm of Jiang Chen!
"All right, the assessnt is passed. We’ve delayed long enough, it’s ti to go!" Jiang Chen said with a light smile.
The mbers of the Lou Family were stunned, only then realizing that the choice Jiang Chen had given Lou Qiangqiang was actually an assessnt of his character.
If Lou Qiangqiang had chosen to beco a disciple, he likely would have failed, not only losing the opportunity of having a master but also the chance to pursue Fu Ling’er!
In an instant, cold sweat soaked the backs of the Lou Family’s patriarch, Lou Wenkang, Lou Fengfeng, and Lou Qiangqiang. If they had made the wrong choice, the loss would have been imnse, possibly creating an indelible rift between Jiang Chen and the Lou Family.
If you give up pursuing soone’s sister for your own future, it would be odd if they still paid you any mind!
After saying their farewells to one another, Jiang Chen left Mo Bao with Zhu Wenqiang and headed to S Province with Yan Hu, Lou Qiangqiang, Tang Wanru, and Mo Tiancheng.
...
In S Province, on the great road outside the dense forests of the West Suburb, a Bentley was driving at a steady speed.
Lu Chengfeng was feeling particularly spirited recently.
Although he had always been a business tycoon in S Province, he lacked the strong support of martial arts forces behind him, which ant that so companies backed by significant martial arts forces didn’t show him much respect. When dealing with them, Lu Chengfeng inevitably felt sowhat restrained.
But now, thanks to Jiang Chen, Chixiao Sect had started to earnestly support its affiliated families, and the Lu Family was receiving special care. Lu Chengfeng straightened his back, no longer needing to be overly cautious with those opponents whom he had previously needed to carefully consider the pros and cons. After all, Chixiao Sect was one of the Six Great Sects.
Today, after learning from his bodyguard Sun Liang that sothing had happened at Chixiao Sect, soone had provoked a confrontation, Lu Chengfeng decided to visit Chixiao Sect to show his loyalty.
However, to his surprise, on his way passing through the dense forests of the West Suburb, he was stopped by two martial artists.
"Who are you?"
Sun Liang got out of the car and looked at the two martial artists before him with a disdainful expression in his eyes.
Sun Liang had reached the Semi Innate Peak, with one foot already stepping into the Innate Realm, and he could sense aura. In his perception, the two martial artists in front of him were at most of Heavenly Level.
"Are you Lu Chengfeng’s bodyguard, Chixiao Sect’s Sun Tao?" one of the n asked with a cold laugh, "If you know what’s good for you, leave imdiately. We only want Lu Chengfeng, otherwise, you’ll end up as a corpse right here."
Sun Liang was montarily stunned and his brow furrowed slightly. The fact that the other party knew that Lu Chengfeng’s previous bodyguard was Sun Tao ant that they had investigated Lu Chengfeng.
Knowing that his bodyguard was a disciple of Chixiao Sect and still daring to block the way must an they had sothing to rely on, and those who would openly provoke Chixiao Sect must be no ordinary people.
"Are you from Youming Hall?" Sun Liang thought of what had happened at the Sect today, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Kid, seems like you’ve received news from Chixiao Sect and want to rush back, huh! However, today, you won’t be able to leave!"
Seeing that Sun Liang had guessed their identity, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the two n as they spoke viciously.
Whoosh whoosh!
No sooner had they finished speaking than the two n charged at Sun Liang, displaying the montum of Heavenly Peak Grandmasters, striking with full force, clearly intending to kill with one blow!
If at this mont Lu Chengfeng’s bodyguard had really been Chen Tao, then he probably would have been captured by these two, but his bodyguard had already been replaced by Sun Liang.
"Courting death!" Sun Liang shouted coldly, as his aura burst forth explosively.
Humming sounds filled the air!
The might of a Semi Innate Peak bore down instantly on the two Heavenly Level Grandmasters from Youming Hall.
"Semi Innate?! You’re not Chen Tao?!" The two n exclaid in shock, crying out in horror.
They were just barely at the Heavenly Level; how could they possibly be opponents for a Semi Innate Grand Master? In their terror, they turned to flee.
"Stay!"
Sun Liang bellowed, quickly raising his palms, striking viciously towards the heads of the two n.
